About the site
Switch off and unwind, surrounded by scenic Sussex countryside. The site is well located for exploring, with National Trust - Standen House and Garden a five minute walk away, along with Wakehurst, East Grinstead and Forest Row within a 15 minute drive. The site is made up of four fields of wildflower hay meadow surrounded by private woodland. The camping takes place mainly on the top fields, leaving the rest for people to explore. The Lower Fields are for quiet camping, with music allowed (until 11pm) in the Upper Field. There is space for up to 20 tent pitches and five campervan pitches. All of the pitches are unmarked (so you can pitch up with family), allowing up to eight guests per tent and five guests per campervan. If you want to leave the tent pegs at home, opt for an unfurnished 4m bell tent. Sleeping up to four, each tent has room for all of your usual camp gear , beds and bedding, or you can hire it from the site when you book. You can buy seasoned firewood, kindling firelighters and even marshmallows at the Centre Camp shop. If you wish to make a fire, there are a few to hire from the site or you can bring your own with you (just make sure not to burn the grass). Up to two friendly dogs are welcome per pitch and in the bell tents. There's good 4G coverage throughout the site, however, it is also a great spot to go off-grid and relax!
